This either implies that Spectral Blade runes will apply elemental damage or the item itself does not boost Spectral Blades damage enough to justify calling it a "melee Wizard" weapon since it gives comparable boosts to other elements. It does however point away from Wicked Wind Critical Mass builds which is interesting at the same time, though I hope they improve the other Energy Twister runes to be as useful.
I'm curious about what would happen if you swapped the Homunculus after casting Zombie Dogs/Gargantuan. Not sure if they're promoting gear switching or not, but that would be interesting and at the same time, leans towards that philosophy they seem to disagree with where you need to do something tedious to be competitive, i.e. have a gearset available to do these CD reductions, or a Maximus for example to proc that demon slave, which is quite a good idea by the way.
In the end game though, Homunculus has such terrible base damage I don't think many people could justify its offhand at the cost of that damage unless the new pet runes are amazing.
i dont see it getting used at all over a kurastian asp
either your summons can last nearly indefinitely (not inferno) or they die in 5 secs (inferno)... if youre using vision quest, a shorter cd + low base damage is counterproductive and kind of defeats the purpose of spamming high dps skills like zombie bears
and if youre using garg + zdogs cuz you like them... well they better buff the survivability and dps to scale off your stats cuz nothing short of your own stats will make them good enough to sacrifice like ~20% base damage for ~30% cdr

it isnt 10% crit or 3 fury/hit
this build doesnt need to scale LoH, it needs to scale fury generation
